View Full Version : making friends in a new area
i dont why im posting this in here i can already forsee the kind of replys i will receive lol
just wondering what the best way of getting new friends in your area is.
recently moved house due to parents divorcing so am on my todd up here. not in the most social job either so dont really have any one to talk to :cry:
am only 19 just dont really want to go to pubs or clubs on my own lol
any advice?
Ive had the same problem.I moved to Scarborough in June 2007.I have drinking buddys but nobody i would call a friend up here (im from Hull)
I moved here because my mrs is from this area.I dont suppose i will ever make friends in Scarborough tbh but i have my Hull mates still.
I love living down south, some of the people down here are so friendly. Made a load of new friends in the Blue Anchor last night in Helston whilst getting ratted on Spingo Special lol
How about joining some local clubs - sports, fitness clubs, local car forums?
Where is "up here" ?
when i say up, ive moved to stevenage lol
Scarborough Stuart,sorry my bad
ahhh not too far away from me :D.... now thats an incentive to move away lol.
I hope you are in Old Stevenage as the newtown is a little ermmmmm ****ty as I'm sure you have discovered lol.
andy, I dont care about you :p lol
when i say up, ive moved to stevenage lol
have patience, & friends will appear....
Hobbies/clubs etc are a good place to start....
Even here, become a club member and get to your local meet where you should have a common interest to "break the ice".....

yeah near the old town mate and yes everyone knows what stevenage is like haha
i used to work in bishops stortford used to live in potters bar so havent moved that far but far enough to be annoying
stevenage, bishops stortford, & potters bar......
I live around 80 miles from you & I don't like those towns....... bad reputations travel a long way
lol nothing wrong at all with Stortford, the rest are shifty as fook, and then there is "the north" lol

get a more sociable job if its possible, a super market is full of young lads,
go to college ?? easily make friends there?
get a gf and make friends with her friends.
just ideas
there is no such thing as the midlands :p
this forum is not like the middle east you know.....
you can't just not recognise the existance of a place like that hamas bloke & israel
mind you, hinckley on a saturday night does resemble the gaza strip after the israeli prime minister has had a bad week in the opinion polls.....
anything above Northampton = Scotland
Above M4 = Norf
don't even try to get me going on the south west, apple fermenting, accordian playing, cousin marrying yokels

Nuff said :D
'Norf'= The best anyway.
If you're into cars you'll easily meet some like-minded males on the local forums.
I'm wondering what it'll be like when I move, I won't know anyone there.

Anything below the start of the m5= Down under

I'm round Stevenage way this weekend, I live in Letchworth when i'm not working so i'm home evey other weekend!
If you want to hang round in your car, Stevo Leisure Park is the place where everyone sits about, the people in the end by the nursery are them from www.cruise-herts.net , the people in the other side by the railway station are known as the DOC, a pi$$ take rival to the other lot.
If drinking is your thing, everyone starts on the Plaza which is in the town centre by McDonalds, then onto Chicago's/Liquid.
I'll be floating around that way on Fri and Sat night if your at a loose end mate, will be over there in a 52plate silver Focus ST170.

yeah its pretty terrible. lol
Cool, might go back on there to wind them up even more :D
Play games and talk to people online. Actual solid friends are overrated. You can do your shopping at home or play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam, there's no end to the possibilities :)

phone number?
:thumb:
Paint your own and make your hand appear from behind the curtain. Sorted.
Plus this way you don't have to inject Stuarts scrotum with water after he's made you knock one off.
These things take time I think once you get to know the area more and the places to go to socialise you will find you fit in :thumb:

Are you telling him to take up magic? Will that make friends?
I'd rather just have a w#+k

This sounds like a scene from the Ali-G movie.....
^ lol
Shaving the back of his hand and painting his nails will calling himself 'Big ___' in a high pitched voice will give the undeniable illusion that there is a lady present.

What up home slice, not seen you about for a while :cool:
what up blud, I killed two routers so gave up and went with this new BT Homehub thing which took 2 weeks to turn up! Hence the quiet-ness. any meets soon?
Nowt planned, but I think we should do something before christmas.
What are you pimping around in at the moment? Did you sell the fez?
I know its a poor time of the year and all mate, ut what about a house warming or a BBQ or something similar, gives you a chance to get to know your enimies.

Is it feck, you soft southern pansies can't handle the cold, can't handle your drink, and can't go to a football match without getting arrested. Sure as hell aint Scottish.
Stop trying to offload them Stuart! However, the further north you go the better it gets (excluding Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds), possibly with the exception of Somerset. They might be inbred but at least they're sociable and friendly :D

Wow what a small world, I live in kent but work in potters bar, and have spent a year in stevenage, still have some friends there. Have to agree old town is better. Leisure park is a good source of night life, A good quiet drink is the granbe near Lister hospital.

Used to go "underage" drinking in there with my mate who lived round the corner from that pub.
Get yourself a job. Then you will go out for a 'quiet' drink with a few work mates a few times, get really drunk and wake up the next morning with loads of random phone numbers on your phone. Done it loads of times. lol
